History Main / HurricaneKick

* Donatello in ''VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTournamentFighters'' on the {{UsefulNotes/SNES}} has a spinning kick where he spins on his head.

* Scott's special move from ''[[VideoGame/ScottPilgrim Scott Pilgrim vs The World]]'' is an EX Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku.

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': While in the video games the appearance of Blaze Kick is variable, in the anime it's always depicted like this.

* Liu Kang's "Fatality" in the original ''VideoGame/MortalKombat1'' was a Helicopter Spin Kick, which basically involved him bending at the waist and twisting around to deliver two powerful kicks to the face, followed by an uppercut (which could throw people into the spike pit).

* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening'' has a move that's literally called Hurricane Kick (or Tornado, depending on version). For extra trope points, it's a follow-up to a {{Shoryuken}} move that involves [[ArtisticLicenseMartialArts stopping in mid air twice while ascending]].

* Capcom's arcade fighting game VideoGame/RedEarth has Kenji (or Mukuro in Japanese) using a hurricane kick similar to the ones used in Street Fighters called ''Rasen Kyaku''.

* Named from the move in ''[[{{Franchise/StreetFighter}} Street Fighter]]'' that Ryu and Ken do, also known as the "Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku" ("Tornado Whirlwind Kick").

** [[VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}} Bayonetta's]] Neutral Air is this, doubly so if she uses her bullet arts. Based on the example listed from her own series.

* Tekken has its fair share with Kazuya and Heihachi's Spinning Demon.

* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'': Two of Reimu's recurring moves in the fighting games are ''Ascension Kick'' (a backflipping kick which causes her to rise upwards) and ''Divine Art "Sky-Conquering Wind God Kick"'' (a series of Ascension Kicks chained together). A bit easier to excuse since Reimu [[{{Flight}} can fly]].

* ''FanFic/CodeGeassAwesomeOfTheRebellion'' includes Suzaku performing the Spinzaku as his signature move. In one chapter, he uses it as a [[TornadoMove very literal]] [[DoNotTouchTheFunnelCloud hurricane kick]]. In later chapters, he is able to use it to turn his legs into [[HelicopterBlender helicopter blades]]. Later, he combines the two helicopter blades into a sword, that he launches as [[BoomerangComeback a boomerang]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsweUX_YpYo Daniel Graham's Hurricane Kick]]. Practicality is far less important to tricking than is style and pulling off these sorts of "video game" moves. The "flash kick" in tricking is also similarly derived from Guile / Charlie's move in ''StreetFighter''.

* Asura from ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' has this as a counter move in his special DLC Crossover with StreetFighter.

How practical is it? It doesn't matter, because EverythingsBetterWithSpinning.

** Chun-Li uses her Spinning Bird Kick to turn the tables on Vega. [[{{Fanservice}} While fighting in only her underwear and a loose shirt.]] Again, it's rendered more realistically than in the games, as instead of floating a few inches off the ground upside down, she instead moves by using a spinning handstand to deliver the kicks.
